My House

Reviews / Votes

"Full-color art...suits each cheerful scene with concise and simple text displayed in bright yellow font. ...Jim adds practicality along with feline flair as he complete his rounds with a final statement. 'I like my home. Meow.' Jim's abode is a welcome place for all who enter." -- School Library Journal (starred review) "Short and accessible. ...The eye-catching digital artwork uses vibrant colors, simple shapes, and bold patterns to create pictures with a childlike look. Another ideal read-aloud choice from Byron Barton." -- Booklist "Barton crafts his story with preschoolers firmly in mind, providing just enough tension ("I hear a noise downstairs") and plot twists to keep things interesting; his signature shapes and bold colors are a perfect match for the clean, brief, straightforward text." -- The Horn Book "The very short sentences and simple vocabulary make this perfect for a toddler or preschool audience but also accessible to beginning readers. The bold, blocky illustrations...are childlike in their rendering...cat-loving kiddos will find this installment in Barton's oeuvre especially attractive." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
